Youth (Lee Know) (English Translation) Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Full of it in my brain
Vividly melting imaginations
Time to get this party started now
I don’t wait, in the world
After putting both feet out with all my might
Na, na, na, na, na
Right now, na, na, na, na, na
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I don’t care, no one, no one
Ooh, let me loose more without hesitation
There’s nothing that can stop you in this moment
I feel you free, alright
[Chorus]
It’s time to bet, bet, bet
Bet on what you want
Detonate the dynamite inside you
(Show me what you wanna do)
One more time
Countdown three, two, one
Enjoy the now, every single day
This moment is the most free
Say yeah
Here’s youth, yours and mine
[Verse 2]
Left or right, wherever you go
We flow wherever we’re drawn
Don’t worry about what others think
Just dive in, we can do anything, you and I, woah
Don’t stop me, woah
Feeling like a Superman, I’m like, woah
All night, na, na, na, na, na
All day, na, na, na, na, na
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, I don’t care, no one, no one
Ooh, let me loose more without hesitation
There’s nothing that can stop you in this moment
I feel you free, alright
[Chorus]
It’s time to bet, bet, bet
Bet on what you want
Detonate the dynamite inside you
(Show me what you wanna do)
One more time
Countdown three, two, one
Enjoy the now, every single day
This moment is the most free
Say yeah
[Bridge]
It’s okay to be a little imperfect
It’s okay, it’s okay (It’s okay)
Jump into this moment, the most brilliant, just as you are
[Chorus]
Believe in yourself as if there’s no tomorrow
Detonate the dynamite inside you
Tell me what you wanna know
One more time
Countdown three, two, one
Enjoy the now, every single day
This moment is the most free, say yeah
[Outro]
Here’s youth, yours and mine
